寂静之声（THE SOUND OF SILENCE）在1967年作为美国电影《毕业生》的主题歌，是20世纪60年代民歌二人组Simon和Garfunkel的成名作。就让我们一起来欣赏一下这首带着丝丝忧伤的歌曲吧。

The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness my old friend

I ve come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left it s seed while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walk alone

Narrow streets of cobble stone

Neath the helo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of neon light,

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writng songs that voices never share

And no one dare

Disturbed the sound of silence

Fools said I you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flash out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said the words of the prophet

Was written on the subway wall and tenement halls

And whispered in the sound of silence

黑暗，老朋友，我来了

又想同你谈谈

突然有一种幻觉悄悄来临

趁着我入睡时播下了种子

那些个在我脑海中不停滋生的幻觉啊

还仍然滞留在寂寞之声中

在永无休止的梦里

我孤独地行走在

狭窄的布满圆石的路上

行走在路灯的光晕下

感到有点寒冷潮湿

于是我翻竖起衣领

那盏刺痛我双眼的霓红灯

划破了夜晚

触到了寂寞的音符

在那无遮蔽的灯光下

我看见成千上万的人

也许更多

人们无声地诉说着

人们无语地倾听着

他们写出一首首歌曲

却没有一个人去唱

没有人敢

惊扰寂寞沉睡时的轻梦

我说：你们这群傻子啊

难道不知道寂寞的癌细胞正在扩散吗

好好记住我教你们的话

握紧我伸给你们的手臂

可惜我的话只如同雨滴无声地落下

回荡在寂静的深井里

看人们朝着象征神圣的氖灯低头祈祷

而霓红灯广告牌却在讽刺地一闪一闪

发出这样的警告：

“先哲的预言就在地道下的墙上

就写在贫民们的住房里”

还依旧在一片祷告的寂静中喃喃地低语
